Application Proposal
The current proposal looks to develop the site at 464 Eaglecrest Drive in three sections:

4 duplexes with 8 dwelling units fronting Eaglecrest Drive, mimicking the existing massing and form and character of the single family homes located on the opposite side of Eaglecrest Drive. 2 storeys high from Eaglecrest, while the grade provides for 3 stories high from the east elevation.

52 unit condominium complex accessed from Eaglecrest Drive. 3 storeys high from the internal road, 2 additional storeys have been created into the slope below providing a total of 5 storeys on the east elevation

A 40 unit condominium complex accessed from Stewart Road/Winn Road. Graduation of 3 storey to 5 storey on the east elevation. Visually the building will be 3 storeys from the north property line, as the grade continues to rise. Staff note that for this building, the height increases as the building steps up the hill.

At the Council meeting of July 26, 2017, Council moved the following motions:THAT the staff report regarding OCP and Zoning Amendment (OCP-2017-01, ZA-2017-01, DP-2017-09) for 464 Eaglecrest Drive (Eagle View Heights) be received;

THAT Council request staff and the applicant to work on a mutually acceptable proposal for Council’s consideration regarding Affordable Housing and Community Amenities as part of the requested Zoning Bylaw Amendment;

THAT Council request that the applicant work with staff towards a revised design of the buildings for 464 Eaglecrest Drive with a more gradual transition in terms of number of storeys and / or setbacks at the north and east sides of the site in relation to the surrounding single family residential areas;

THAT Council request that the applicant revise the current architectural style of the buildings by making the design less urban in nature (for example by using pitched or sloping roofs);

THAT Council request that the applicant provide additional information regarding the traffic impact in relation to existing traffic levels and route preferences, comparing existing levels and anticipated growth with the expected traffic resulting from the development proposal for 464 Eaglecrest Drive.
